WHAT DO WE DO?

The Bible Society of Ghana exists to ensure that the vision of making Bibles affordable and available is achieved.

While focusing on our vision, it is also needful to develop effective and meaningful programmes using all forms of media through which we can attain our set objectives and facilitate Bible distribution and usage in churches and families.

In pursuit of our mission, we do the following: Translations, Distribution, Bible engagement Programmes and Fundraising.

Bible Translations

The goal of BSG is to reach every home with a Bible in a local language they can read and understand. Currently, the full Bible has been translated into 11 major Ghanaian languages, namely, Asante Twi, Akuapem Twi, Ga, Mfantse, Ewe, Dagbani, Dangme, Nzema and Esahie, Komba and Dagaare. We have also launched the first Asante-Twi Bible in Braille in 2025.  We are working on others, while revising some of the older versions.

We are currently working on , Gurune New Testament and Bono Old Testament.  Translation is challenging and money-intensive. More can be achieved if the needed funds are available.

Publishing and Distribution

BSG ensures the widest distribution of scriptures to every part of the country. Currently, we have seven regional offices: Greater Accra, Ashanti-Kumasi, Western region -Takoradi, Volta- Oti- Ho, Northern Regions -Tamale and Bono Region- Sunyani, Eastern-Koforidua, Western North-Sehwi. Arrangements are underway to strategically set up regional offices and distribution points in the other regions. Additionally, there are over forty distributors spread across the country. BSG also distributes free Bibles to some segments of the society such as Basic school pupils, Senior High School students and the Security Services.

Programmes

BSG is involved in Bible engagement and advocacy projects to enable individuals engage with the Word of God. They include; Next Generation for the youth, Bible-based Trauma Healing, Literacy, Children’s projects, Braille and Visual impaired project, Peace Keeping Bible project, etc.

Fundraising

BSG raises funds to support her translation work as well as provide subsidy for the sale of Bibles. The funds raised also help us to accomplish the several activities geared towards Bible work.
